That night.

Yu Wenqiang, the third general of the Wild Kingdom, led ten thousand cavalry toward the gold mine in the Altai Mountains.

Uncle Zhong returned home late at night.

Wen Xiaowan didn't sleep. She was by the Yinma River behind the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Uncle Zhong also came here and sat opposite Wen Xiaowan. He placed the jar of painted spring on the table, looked up at Wen Xiaowan and asked with a smile:

"What are you thinking about?"

Wen Xiaowan curled her lips, "He... he should have returned to Yujing City, right?"

"You... really can't put him down?"

Wen Xiaowan lowered her head. What she was thinking about just now was the man who had been in the same room with her when they were at the Ningxiang Pavilion in Guangling City two years ago!
That stinky man who is very flirtatious!

If I had taken the initiative that night, would I still be in this foreign country now?
Maybe he can stay by his side like Miss Zhongli and the others?

But now he has ascended the throne as emperor.

But he was thousands of miles away.

I don't know what my father is thinking, but it is a fact that the two of them are getting farther and farther apart.

Wen Xiaowan also thought about putting him down.

However, I just can’t let it go!

In fact, Liang Manman in Happy Forest across the Yinma River is also unhappy.

She didn't let go of that person in her heart.

Wen Xiaowan raised her head, stretched out her hand, took out the wine jar, took a big sip from the wine jar, and looked at Uncle Zhong:
"I already know how to make fish soup. I'm leaving."

Uncle Zhong nodded: "You really have to leave!"

Wen Xiaowan was startled and then heard Uncle Zhong say again:

"You leave now!"

"...Where are you going?"

"Hurry back to Ningguo!"

"What are you doing?"

Uncle Zhong sighed: "This kid Li Chenan is too courageous!"

"How dare you send seven people to move so much gold away... Even if you kill someone, that's tens of thousands of kilograms of gold!"

"They escorted a group of civilians, pushing a small cart, carrying tens of thousands of kilograms of gold... They could not travel more than a few dozen miles in a day!"

"Yu Wenfeng has sent people to hunt them down. It is estimated that none of them can escape."

"Go and tell Li Chen'an that he doesn't want to do anything here in Huangguo!"

"I'm here, tell him to focus on Ningguo."

Wen Xiaowan's eyes widened immediately. It was not the seven bold people sent by Li Chenan.

She asked again in surprise:
"Who are you anyway?"

Uncle Zhong picked up the wine jar on the table, turned around and walked towards the door to the backyard.

"I've told you before, I'm just an old fisherman."

"The horses are in the backyard."

"The sword is on the wall."

"Go...in the direction of Death Valley, it's closer that way."

"Run faster and maybe you can catch up with his coronation ceremony!"

That night, Wen Xiaowan left.

For some reason, Uncle Zhong did not say that the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance who was about to go to Ning State as an envoy was the Emperor of Huang State, Yu Wenfeng!
That night he was sitting by the Yinma River, fishing without a lamp. When he drank up the jar of painted spring, the sky was already slightly bright.

He hammered his legs, which were numb from the cold, and slowly stood up.

"Time is not forgiving!"

"It's a pity that I am already in my prime."

"The world is undergoing huge changes quietly... I hope it can change faster. I hope I can live a few more years to see what it will be like in the end."

"Yueguo...Qiao Zitong made a good move!"

"Wu Guo... ultimately failed to fulfill Hua Manting's wish."

"Ning Guo has formed an alliance with Wu Guo. That old guy Emperor Wu should let go now!"

……

...Also in this autumn.

Emperor Wu of the Kingdom of Wu has officially abdicated the throne to the eldest prince Wu Hui.

Li Wenhou, the Minister of Household Affairs of Ning State who was on an envoy to Wu State, was invited to attend Wu Hui's coronation ceremony. Then, the new emperor of Wu State actually personally sent Li Wenhou and his entourage to Wuyaguan, the border between the two countries!
Here, the two countries signed a formal treaty of friendship and cooperation.

Historically known as the "Treaty of Wuyaguan Alliance".

In this treaty, many provisions for free trade between the two countries were agreed upon, making it the most formal international trade document in history.

The two countries officially opened trade!

Businessmen from both countries celebrated happily.

Li Wenhou was not happy, he was worried——

During these days in Wu Guodong Xucheng, he was not idle.

He saw the prosperity of Wu's business, and also saw the huge gap between Ning and Wu!

He didn't know why Li Chenan insisted on signing this contract.

He only knew that when Wu Guo's products entered Ning Guo's business, Ning Guo's business would be greatly impacted!
He also didn't know how the emperor who had just ascended the throne had time to send him all the way to Wuyaguan to sign this treaty.

He only saw Wu Hui standing at Wuya Pass, looking at the vast hectares of farmland under the pass that had been cultivated. He looked at it for a long time.

Then he turned around.

Kind words to Li Wen:
"My former fiefdom was at the foot of Beiqiong Mountain."

"I built a city at the foot of that mountain. The city's name is... Gucheng!"

"If there are so many fertile fields outside my isolated city, why have I been trapped in a cage for more than ten years!"

"After you return to China, tell me a few words to Li Chenan!"

"Tell him... I can't stand the waste of natural resources in this life."

"Ningguo is the hinterland of Dali in the past, and it is a place of outstanding people!"

"It's not just Yuwenfeng who's taking a look at Ningguo, I also want it very much!"

"Five years!"

Wu Hui stretched out a palm.

His hands are huge.

Very powerful!
"Five years later, Ruoning Country is still weak..."

He turned around and looked at the huge Yudan River plain.

"In five years, I will be able to solve the chaos of the feudal kings in the country."

"If he cannot make Ningguo strong within these five years... Rather than fall into the hands of the deserters, it is better for me to take Ningguo!"

"He is my younger brother and sister-in-law."

"That way, I can keep him alive and keep him rich throughout his life!"

Li Wenhou was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat on the spot.

"Your Majesty, this treaty has just been signed!"

Wu Hui laughed:
"The so-called treaty is based on similar strengths."

"I might as well tell you bluntly, if the Ning Kingdom lags far behind the Wu Kingdom, it is because of Li Chenan's incompetence!"

"I will take Ning State and build a great Wu State!"

"At that time, the people of the original Ning Kingdom will all be my subjects!"

"Currently, the two countries still need to pay tariffs for trade. If they are placed under one country, these tariffs will no longer exist."

"You said... will they be sad because of the demise of Ning Kingdom?"

Li Wenhou was speechless.

But he believed that what Wu Hui said was no joke.

This is the interest and game between countries.

The next day, Wu Hui's honor guard returned to Dongxu City, and Li Wenhou and his entourage quickly headed towards Yujing City in a light carriage.

In this early winter, the biggest event in Ningguo is that the regent Li Chenan has ascended the throne as emperor!

The eighth day of November in the twenty-fifth year of Zhaohua.

The streets of Jade City, the capital of Ningguo, are deserted!

There are so many people outside the walls of the huge palace!
They looked at the majestic palace wall with undisguised joy on their faces.

That was the great expectation they had for the emperor who was ascending the throne in the palace. (End of chapter)
